7 To all w/zom may concern: I.

Be it known that 1, JAMES citizen of the United tates, residino at lVinntielth'in the parish of lVinn and tate of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barber-Cloth Pins, of which the following is a specification. v

The present invention relates to a barber cloth pin and has "for its principal object to provide a device of this nature which may be engaged witha barber cloth toremain thereon as desired and including means for holding the barber cloth around the neck of a person in the barber chair. v Another object otthe invention is to pro I ride a pin '01" this nature which includes "means for securely holding the pin to the barber cloth and means forgrasping the cloth so as to hold it about the neck of the wearer both of said means being disposed Xterioij'ly of the cloth that is the pointed ends thereof so as to eliminate any danger V of injuring the wearer when the cloth is be- 9 ing placed upon him.

Another very important object of the invention is to provide a pin of this nature which is formed from a single strand of resilient wire.

A still further important ob'ect is to ro- J.

ride a pin o't this nature which issimple e eiiicient in-construction, reliable in opera on, inexpensive to manufacture, durable, attractive in appearance, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is de signed. I v r V fli ith the above vand numerous other objects in view, as will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in novel construction, and the combination and arra J'DQIHZ of parts as will be hereinafter more Hilly described and claimed.

in the drawin Figure 1 is a Iragrmentaryelevation'ot a barber cloth showing my pin attached to the collar thereon,

Fioure Q is a fragmentary view of one corner at the barber cloth showing the pin ati ached thereto, Figure 3 is anedge elevation of the pln showing the same engaged with the barber cloth, and a Figure l is a detailed construction of the pin.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that ldesignates the ordinary barber C. 'HUGHEN, a-

c-loth which is usually provided aicollar band 2 avhich is adapted o be disposed tightly about the neck of a; person having a hair cut so as to preventsevered pieces of hair from "falling or working their way into his or her clothing. -My pin is adapted to be attached toone end ofthis barber cloth. This pin. is formed from a single strand of resilient Wire having its ends pointed as indicated at 3 and The main pin 5 isprovided with the point 3 andis bent at itsother 7 end so as to form a convolution 6 and then I extends to form one of the side strands 7 of the body of the pin.- The other end of-this side strand/7' islbent inwardly providing an. I extension 8 which forms -a U-shaped engaging; member 9 wh ch engages the end of the main pin member 5 holding it in locked position against displacement when the main pin is engaged with the cloth as is lndicated to advantage in the tirst three figures. An

extension 8" similar to the extension 8 is tormedon the other side of the U-shaped engaging member 9 and is attached. to the 80, other side strand 7. The other end of this side strand 7 terminates ina curved extension 11 which in'turn terminates with a j 3 hooked extension 12 having; the point t 7 which is adapted to engage the other end' of the collar Q as is indicated to advantage in Fig. 3 when the cloth isdisposed: about t the wearer. f It is to'be noted that 'When the main pinmcmber5 isin a locked-posi tion as indicated in all figures of the drawthe points 8 and 4 are on the same side of the plane "formed by the side strands? and 7', that is, on the side opposite to the flesh i of the wearer. v I

Having thus described my invention, what l claim asfnew is 1. A pin of the class described formed troma single strand of resilient wire having itsends pointed, said strand of wire being curved so as to provide :a main pin member 97- having one of the pointed ends, said main pin member terminating at its opposite end in a convolution and then extending to form a side strand, a U-shaped engaging nen'iber a second side strand formed on said U-shaped engaging member and extending 'substa-n tially parallel with the first side strand and terminating in a hooked extension passing through'the convolution, said hooked extension i g'proviaea with the other of said pointed endsm V, p

2. A pin of the class described formed from a single strand of resilient Wire having its ends pointed and curved or bent so as to provide a main pin member having one of the points Which terminates at its non-pointed end in a convolution and then extends to form a side strand, a U-shapecl enmember for the main pin member is mounted on the side strand and a second side strand is attached to this U-shapecl engaging member and extends substantially et/ ees;

parallel with first side strand anl terminates in a hooked extension passing through the convolution and terminating in the other point.

In testimony whereof I affixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
